Tigre caspi keepsake box

Keepsake box with music movement from the September 2009 issue of Wood Magazine. I layed out the cuts such that the front & sides were cut from a continuous run, so the grain pattern wraps around the box.Wood is tigre caspi, something I bought a couple years ago because it looked cool, with no idea what I was going to do with it. Feet, bottom & splines are from curly maple. Finished with General’s gel-based urethane topcoat & buffed with steel wool.
